Calling All Writers

Jan 24, 2005

We need articles for our newsletter. If you like to write, or have a teenager that is an aspiring writer, please contribute by writing an article or volunteering as editor.

Here are some topic suggestions that I found on the internet from the City of Longmont's Neighborhood Organization Handbook:

*An announcements section for engagements, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, honor roll,
graduations, etc., to add a personal touch to a neighborhood newsletter. Also, use this section
to welcome new residents into the neighborhood.

*Recognize neighbors for community involvement and volunteerism in a "neighbor profile"
column.

*Feature a City-sponsored program or service that may be of special interest in your
neighborhood.

*On occasion, use a "Bright Ideas" column to share ideas for neighborhood projects used by
surrounding neighborhood groups.

*You may want to promote a ?“Home of the Month?” award for neighbors that have done
something special to fix up or beautify their property.

These are just a few examples, I'm sure you can think of many more. Please keep the articles positive & respectful of others.
